Elo Hansen is a retired male badminton player from Denmark who won international titles in all three events (singles, doubles, and mixed doubles) from the late 1960s through the mid-1970s.
Hansen won the gold medal at the 1970 European Badminton Championships in men's doubles with Per Walsøe and the silver medal in singles in the same tournament.
A highly impressive shotmaker, Hansen played in four consecutive Thomas Cup (men's international team) campaigns for Denmark, ('66–'67, '69–'70, '72–'73, '75–'76),[1][2][3] but never overtook his contemporary, Svend Pri, as Denmark's leading player of that era.
His finest moment in badminton probably came in Denmark's narrow (4–5) 1970 Thomas Cup semi-final loss to defending champion Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur when he defeated both Tan Aik Huang and Punch Gunalan in straight games.
